WVS are delighted to be supporting Esperanza Verde, a wildlife rescue centre and conservation project based in Peru within the Amazon jungle. Many animal species fall victim to illegal hunting, either for meat or to be sold into the pet trade. Esperanza Verde rescue and rehabilitate animals that have been confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade. Where possible they release animals back into the wild, however sadly this is not possible in all cases. As a result they also provide permanent homes to animals deemed unfit for release. They protect a large area of rainforest and actively look to reforest areas previously lost to farming or logging.

WVS India runs regular outreach clinics to treat the abandoned street horses and working donkeys in Ooty. We need a qualified farrier to help with the treatment of these animals and assist with the veterinary team in the field clinic.

WVS are delighted to have formed a partnership with La Senda Verde Animal Refuge Inc. A charity who have recently registered with WVS based near La Paz in Bolivia, who are dedicated to improving the lives of rescued Native Bolivian Wildlife, providing them with medical care, food and housing. WVS hopes to be able to support LSV with excellent volunteers so anyone thinking of a trip to South America why not drop in and volunteer at LSV.

It is ideal if you want to truly experience the “wild” side of Africa. Their camp is based in a Limpopo game reserve which is home to the 'Big 5'. This means you will get to encounter, and live with, elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo while working with us.
